Behold The Big Hitch An estimated 18.000 people packed the streets of Ketchum Saturday to watch the annual Wagon Days Parade and its feature entry, the Big Hitch. The Big Hitch is comprised of a string of historic ore wagons, owned by the city of Ketchum, pulled by a team of 20 mules. The mules pull the wagons down Sun Valley Road and then north on Main Street, above. Photo by Willy Cook
